If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. Wow, that's an interesting spelling of "a.out" ;-) Apparently you've got "ls" hacked up in such a way that it puts some highlighting escape sequences into its output even when it's invoked by a script. This is a bad idea, because it will break lots more stuff than just configure scripts. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
